The Trust Challenge

Today  room 8  did the trust  challenge   to prepare for our adventure at merc next week.We had three  tasks to do  around the   school. before we started our teacher Mrs dines gave us a number either one or two to see what the students would be doing.  

After being partnered up.The number one person  had to guide the person had to lead the person to our school gate without going on the grass .Number two had to listen follow and trust there buddy's.

When the class successfully to the school gate the roles were switched around the blind person became the leader while the leader became the blind person  .The leaders were  now allowed to make there own customized course but we wert aloud in the playground or in the bottom court.The leader had to successfully take the follower back to class.   

For the  last challenge the class was turned into the maze by the furniture that was in the class.

The roles were changed again The blindfolded person had to get  the end of the classroom while the leader had to guide the person who couldn’t see around the maze and out of the classroom.

Scared of creatures getting in the room                            Scared of heights                                                                 Laughing at what you wear                                                 People stealing                                                               Not packing enough                                                             Getting injured    Worried about the food were getting Being in the water People invading my privacy    Being sent home Being worried about the creatures Getting lost Doing something wrong sharing a room with other people Communicating with people you don’t know

Sleep on the top bunk Don’t look down Ignore they say Make sure to take extra Make sure to be sensible If you don’t like the food save your food from your lunch so that you can eat your lunch if you don’t like the food you eat for dinner just think about anything else and to remember that you have a life jacket get changed were none can see you Be Sensible don’t think about Make sure to listen to the instructors listen closely try to communicate with the people in the room

The  Giant ladder would be the most challenging activity for me because I am very scared of heights and when I'm am up so high I'm think about the bad stuff that will happen.To solve this problem I will remember to take it step by step and to not look down so that I don’t worry about falling over.I will make sure to make my harness extra tight so I know that I won’t fall off.I will climb each step at my own  paste.

Vanilla Ice Cream

article and photographs by Jill MacGregor

A	Veisinia Veikoso lives in Vaini on the island of Tongatapu. Vei loves ice cream. She likes hokey-pokey ice cream, chocolate ice cream, and best of all, vanilla ice cream. But there's one thing she's always wondered — where does the vanilla come from?
B	One afternoon in the holidays, Vei visits a vanilla plantation. Vanilla plants grow well in Tonga, where it is warm and wet and the soil is fertile. The vanilla vines grow in the shelter of tall banana trees and coconut palms. There are lots of long, green vanilla beans waiting to be picked.
C	Salesi shows Vei which beans are ready to pick. When they are ready, the beans turn slightly yellow at one end. Vei all round the vines and picks one bean at a time so that she won't bruise them. The beans then have to be cured. They are taken to the curing sheds in Nuku'alofa. Curing is the process of fermenting and drying the beans to produce the vanilla flavouring.
D	Vei carefully tips her beans into a big wire basket. The basket is lowered into boiling water for a short time. The steaming hot beans are tipped into a wooden "heat box" and quickly covered with woollen blankets to keep the heat in. The beans "sweat" for forty-eight hours until they turn brown. Then they have to be dried.
E	On sunny days, the beans can be dried outside in the hot sun. This month, there have been too many rainy days. The beans are spread on wire racks in a drying room. They are left to cure for two months. It's noisy inside the shed. Fans and dehumidifiers are whirring loudly, removing the moisture from the beans. There is a strong, sweet smell of vanilla.
F	Vei touches the beans. Their shiny skins are oily, and they are soft and supple. When the beans are ready, they are tied in bundles of a hundred and stored in wooden boxes for three months so that the flavour will develop. Each month, the beans are checked to make sure they are dry enough. If there is too much moisture, the beans could turn mouldy.
G	Natural vanilla is expensive because it takes so long to make. When Vei’s beans are ready, they will be exported to other countries and crushed to make vanilla oil and essences for use in cakes, desserts, chocolate, medicines, shampoo, perfumes, and ... ice cream!
